The National Hurricane Center has tagged a developing tropical wave in the far Atlantic with official odds of becoming a tropical system next week.

The heat index could get as high as 111 in South Florida, with the strongest heat expected along the southern Gulf Coast.

The system’s slow passage over Florida has meant days of rain throughout the state, leading to street flooding in South Florida. However, the Miami office of the National Weather Service expects the rain to slow down, alleviating any concerns about deep flooding.
